Vengeance is best served cold!
Amongst all the romance, slice of life and comedy dramas, we have been served with this gem of an action cum legal drama (with a tinge of mystery added in).
First off, dramas tend to stick strictly to their main genres (e.g romance) for most of their airtime. Hence, it's fascinating how this drama managed to mesh two separate genres effortlessly without sacrificing one or the other.
This is mainly due in part to the superb script and excellent acting by all the actors.
Acting wise, Jo Bo Ah is excellent as the mysterious Cha Woo-in. This is the first time I've watched her in an action role and boy did she nailed her role to perfection. She impressed me a lot in the first few episodes of Tailed of The Nine Tailed and boy did she ramped up her acting here.
I've watched a few of An Bo-Hyun's dramas but he was mostly in supporting roles. However he clearly showed his acting chops here. It is pretty impressive how he managed to keep his actual motives a secret for quite the duration of the show.
This drama also touches on many thorny and controversial issues which has been affecting the public not only in South Korea but other countries as well i.e sexual assaults and bullying. It's good to see directors not shying away from shining the spotlight on such major issues instead of just relegating them to the side.
Another major plus point of this drama is that equal screentime and emphasis are given to both male and female villains. We have plenty of tv series which focused purely on the male villains as the main villains whilst the female villains are sidelined.
Viewers are also kept in suspense as to whether certain obviously evil characters will be able to redeem themselves. The writing on this part is superb.
All in all, I will call this a masterpiece action/legal drama. It's definitely worth your time, as it did mine.
